I've been looking through the threads about the Block Erupter Blade ASIC boards and can't seem to find a definite answer.

Do they require fans on both sides of the ASIC board, are there ASICs on both sides? Is there a heatsink on both sides?

Jesus, whats with all the thread necros lately?

ASICs are located on one side of the board, heatsink is on the other side. May seem weird, but because of how the chip is packaged, it will dissipate more heat through the PCB and vias than through the plastic coating on the chip. Active cooling is mandatory, but only heatsink side.

Thanks for the info. I thought that putting this question on the end of a related thread would have been OK. My bad! Next time I will consider start a new one.
